You should try asking AT&T for the unlock when you purchase it from them. They should be able to provide you with one free of charge since you are paying for the phone outright!
[Captivate General] accinfo:
After paying 6 bucks, this is the reply I got from their site.

I'll be calling them today.

AND it's not a free unlock code.

it's 6 bucks as mentioned.
[Captivate General] dalingrin:
Its only $350? Are you sure?
[Captivate General] DarkVasyaK:
well, may be you misspelled the code?

if it finally works, it's better to pay these 6 bucks, than paying $1000 for the ugly version of Galaxy S here in Russia ;)
[Captivate General] smitty1:
The non contract price I was just quoted from the ATT store were I purchased my phone said the the price off contract was 499.00

I was going to buy this phone for 350.00 but 500.00 is a little steep.
[Captivate General] DarkVasyaK:
so is it $350 or $500?

I heard that $500 is just for t-mobile version
[Captivate General] smitty1:
I was going to go over there to exchange it and buy it out right. Look at the prices of the galaxy s line on ebay,500$ sounds about right.

500$ is what I was told from a corporate ATT store.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cheri7:
Greetings, I am a newbie who recently got the X10 mini which I love, but I have had days of troubles trying to get Nimbizz and Google Voice configured to make free calls. An awesome developer named "fishsticksfromguam" made this program called "Advanced GV Caller" which I purchased, and could not get to work. I followed all of his helpful instructions, but it still will not work properly. Is anyone else having these problems or can anyone give advice?

The errors I get are:

With A.GV Dialer: it says GV is calling my phone and either the phone call just doesn't go through, or it says that my GV number is not set for callbacks. Since GV does not have a callback number, I don't get it.

Nimbizz: either goes black and freezes and I have to restart my phone, or it says, Nimbizz is not responding, force quit?

Then when I sign back in, it shows that my Skype account under Nimbizz is offline, whereas just a minute before it was online and I was able to make calls.

Or it says, Activity Phone (in process.com.android.phone) is not responding, force close.

My Gizmo5 account is set up properly and my Google Voice phone number has been verified by the developer himself. I sincerely recommend fishsticksfromguam's programs as he goes out of his way to help.

Below are the instructions that I have followed:

1. Login in Gizmo5 and under the "FORWARDING" tab, select the option

"Forward All Calls", and enter your gtalk email address, hit save and log out.

2. On my Desktop computer, I start the official Google Talk client.

3. Login to Google Voice and under Settings menu, I added a new Phone

with my Gizmo5 telephone number and I selected "GIZMO" as the phone

type.

4. Google will now attempt to call your Gizmo5 number to verify it.

Since you've forwarded ALL Gizmo5 calls to your gTalk, it will come in

on your Google Talk Client where you can now answer the call and verify it!

*** YOU HAVE NOW VERIFIED YOUR GIZMO5 NUMBER ***

5. Install Nimbuzz (or Fring) on your Android phone, and ensure your

Google Talk is set up properly to receive voice calls.

6. Install Google Voice Call Advanced, enter your Google Voice

Username & Password, and for the Callback number, enter your full

Gizmo5 callback number (ie. 17475551212), and select "GIZMO5" as the

phone type. Select "Use GV for all calls". Hit Apply.

*** You should now be able to make FREE phone calls using your Android Phone ***

Any advice please?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
I don't have any experience with nimbuzz but I can give you my two cents on Google voice. Some apps worked some of the time but in the end for making gv calls the only stable option is through the browser. Now I just have a bookmark saved on my homescreen and it opens to my contact list in gv. Incoming calls obviously need nothing special. Hope this helps

Hi!

Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.

Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?

Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).

Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone! :)
[Click General] dancer_69:
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.

I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!

Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?

he he he.... did not notice your link :) Sorry!

Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices... :)
[Click General] ToddeSwe:
This phone realy sucks! :)

Me again!

I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.

I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected... :)

What can i do about this?
[Click General] chrisredmayne:
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
[Click General] ToddeSwe:
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.

Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?
[Click General] francians:
install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection. ;)

then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled
[Click General] ToddeSwe:
Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle :) when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company. :)

Thanks again! Will try this!
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
When I try to do a backup Rom Manager wants to install clockwork. I thought the unrevoked 3 tool already installed clockwork? I don't know if I should allow Rom Manager to install. Any help appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
Go ahead and let it install. I believe it installs v2.0.2.1. Then select "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and pick 2.5.0.1. It should then re-flash you to the current version (2.5.0.1).
[HTC Aria General] alfer:
The only real complaint I have about the Aria is its low speaker volume, both for calls as well as media like music and videos. Is there any hack available to get the volume louder? I know meltus had a Audiohack mod for the G1, but its not compatible with 2.1 devices like the Aria. Does anyone know of any other mod we can use?
[HTC Aria General] gtg465x:
Go to Settings > Call and turn on Hearing aids. It will make the in call volume a little louder.
[HTC Aria General] alfer:
Aria Audio Hack

I've been disappointed by the low volume coming out of the speaker on the Aria so I began doing some testing with the Audio Hack meltus put together at androidaudiohacks.com. In the latest version there are three files (AudioFilter.csv, AudioPara4.csv, and AudioPreProcess.csv) that you are supposed to replace with the stock ones in /system/etc. When I try to adb push these files using for ex. adb push AudioFilter.csv /system/etc/AudioFilter.csv I get "failed to copy 'AudioFilter.csv' to '/etc/AudioFilter.csv': Directory not empty". This occurs even after adb remount. I also tried an adb shell session with similar results. Does anyone know how to replace files in the /system/etc or /etc directories? Or are there any other audio hacks working for 2.1 devices?
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
You will need to enable write permission to that directory as it is read only by default. Hope this helps.

[HTC Aria General] alfer:
How do I do that? I thought thats what adb remount did?
[HTC Aria General] NotATreoFan:
Merged with the thread you created last week for the same topic. Also moved it to General. Please take a moment to read the announcement I posted regarding the creation of duplicate threads.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
[HTC Aria General] alfer:
Mod: This is a development topic, not a general discussion. Thats why I created the thread in the development forum. Please let the users make these calls for themselves and move it back. The users are what this forum is all about, isnt it?
[HTC Aria General] AzNnYx:
I thought you have to mount the system with

adb shell

mount /system

..and then you can read/write whatever you want and push and pull and rm and all that good stuff? I might be wrong, I'm still a noob :D
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
execute chmod o+w <directory>

ps. Dear Moderator, it's a strange subforum to be discussing changes to operating system files in "Aria General"
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Posting or linking to the actual code changes you are trying to implement would maybe make this a legit dev thread.

As of now, it's a discussion of a mod, not a mod. Lots more could probably be moved from the dev area as well if the Aria forum is run like the others on XDA.

as far as how to implement; we don't have an engineering spl, so read write on an active system partition (phone up and running) is going to be unreliable at best - sometimes it works (when it really should not) and others it just doesn't.

We've had better luck modifying files on the system partition from adb within clockwork recovery after mounting /system under the partitions menu in clockwork.

Clockwork is really cool. If I were little piece of code, I'd want to be just like clockwork because it's just so damn sexy.
[HTC Aria General] alfer:
Thanks attn I'll give clockwork a shot. These 3 files are in two different places: /etc as well as /system/etc. Any idea why the etc directory seems to be redundant?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
Turn off 3G, turn on only when needed

Settings -> Location -> Untick ''Wireless Networks and GPS Satelites''

Settings ->Accounts -> Untick Background data (Unless you want to use market)

Settings -> Wirelless -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy -> Never

Use phone on 2G, unless using internet (then switch to 3G mode)

Data traffic always OFF (Use only when needed)

Backlight low or Auto Brightness (And allow light to decrease)

Turn off wireless, basically everything turned off with the power control widget, turn on when necessary

Install task manager and set auto-kill mode to crazy on switch off screen mode (Put apps that always run in ignore list e.g. Launcher, Messaging. Basically the necessities)

Install SetCPU (After rooting your phone) - Min CPU 122mhz, Max CPU ~700mhz - 'On demand' profile

SetCpu - Profiles -> Screen Off -> Min 122mhz, Max 122mhz, Performance mode

Upgrade to Froyo 2.2 - Enable JIT (Saves battery on 2.2+)

Switch to a Cyanogenmod Rom

Enable undervolting (Only for CyanogenMOD roms)

Use RenderFX widget (CyanogenMOD, best to use low red, best to use when you are heading out)

Cyanogenmod - Spare Parts -> End Button Behaviour -> Go to sleep

LAST, but NOT LEAST, if you notice no significant increase in battery life, then your battery is no calibrated right! So go to market, download 'Battery Calibration', and charge your phone to 100%. Next, if its abbout 4000v - 4200v, your phone is correctly calibrated!

If its not 4000 -4200, press the ''calibrate'' button, and let your phone die out, then fully charge it (while its still powered off). Wait till light is green, TURN ON.

After boot, battery will not be 100% yet, reboot once more, charge to 100% (while phone is on), and check your new calibrated battery! It should now be 4000 to 4200v ;)

I know there might be programs and applications to increase your battery life, but I dont have any experience with these, so feel free to post your experiences! Some examples may include juicedefender, etc

Anyone wants to add to this list, feel free =)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
I will never install a task manager it's do more damage then it does good.....

My battery last 2 days and the only thing i do is install juicedefender and use my phone alot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dabulcke:
I don't know what goes wrong, but mine losts for only one day. If i have charged it overnight the battery is empty the next evening
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
No task managers. The phone manages its RAM well and the battery will last longer. For normal uses upto 1.5 days and for heavy users 1 day.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
and here I heard installing juicedefender does more damage than good too.. what to believe? Everything is based on peoples hearsay and no evidence..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] diesel2k:
On my girl friends X10 mini I changed from ADW launcher to Helixlauncher and changed the brightness to auto. That made a HUGE difference.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] junglepunk:
Was on vacation and turned off 3G because I was not gonna use any expenisve data. That alone boosted my batterylife about 1 days worth.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
people can do much to boost battery time, like turn off 3g, brightness control, turn off gps and so on, that all helps the battery
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
I have switched of almost everything and still get about 1 day of battery with about 2-3Hrs of music and a few calls and videos.

is it ok?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I get over 48 hours and I use the wifi a lot and do about 30mins of calls a day.

My tips:

* turn background data off and manually update ur emails when u want - this is the best tip I put it on my blog too

* manually enable network data when u need it

* use the top button to go on standby as soon as you are done using the phone

* keep gps, 3g and wifi off unless u want to use it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
I have background data off.

No emailing whatsoever till now....

Almost 75% of the time in standby

Gps 3G wifi bluetooth are off.

Yet with stock launcer i get 24Hrs

Helix 30Hrs..

Why?

Its been two weeks(or 3) since i bought the phone...

Please reply.

BTW when did you buy the phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
^^Ok.

I have come to know the problem.

Running any apps in background like Battery Indicator or task manager brings down the battery so much(the latter not much though)..

Because daily i used to get the above with battery indicator pro on.

But after uninstalling it i got about double that battery life..

So people better don't run them all the time.

task manager can be used sometimes about once every 2 hrs o so.

This increased my battery life so much on stock launcher
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
Just got the pro today. Will be ditching my X2 depending on the performance of this one after a week. So far, I love the mini pro for the fact that I can now hear my incoming messages and calls!

A couple of questions though:

1) Is there a way to wake up the screen when an SMS arrives?

2) Custom ringtone per contact?

3) Is there a way to disable screen lock when the phone goes to sleep by itself (not pressing the power button) ?

4) Is there a way to unlock the screen without the need to press the left button, I was hoping to go directly to the pattern unlock after i turn on the phone

Still getting used to the keyboard lay-out as I've been using X2 for almost 6 months.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I use Chomp SMS app and this allows the screen to wake-up, I think Handcent SMS does too. I never used the stock SMS app so not sure if there is a way to do it with that.

Not sure if this answers your question, I just press the Menu button twice to unlock the phone, never used the power button to wake it up funnily enough, only used the power button go in to sleep mode. When I press Menu button it wakes up to the pattern unlock.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
Nice, i'll try to look for those apps. I did try the menu button and it worked. At least this relieves stress on the power button since I won't be using it to wake-up the phone anymore.

How's about not locking the phone when it goes to sleep? Unless I press the power button?

After a day with it, battery is now @ 30%+. Hope it improves or SE comes out with a high capacity.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
Hi, where is the disable 3G button?

I can't seem to find it. I found wifi on and off.

and I unchecked location with gps.

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
Helix launcher is the best thing I installed to my mini pro. Batt life is now 3-4 days regular use and 5 days if i don't play games. Games are draining the batt quickly.

I'm totally getting rid of my X2.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
3 to 4 days? Lol how can that be possible.. Did you use 3g?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
I can prove it, there's a display in the phone where it says # of hours unplugged. If it's not working for you, doesn't mean it shouldn't for others as well. If you barely make 2 days, then that's what we should be LOLing about.

My setting is as follows:

- 2g only

- 1 to 2 hours of wifi and bluetooth per day

- 1 to 2 hours of games (love the games) per day

- tried GPS for 1 hour using mapdroyd

- a couple of calls and text messages per day

- tried watching a movie (AVI) for an hour using yxflash

- tried the media, played MP3s for an hour

- tried meebo for an hour

- I got my alarms ON always

- notifications ON always

- custom led lights for new SMS (using ringo pro) always

- max volume for the entire day

- medium volume at night

- data connection off

- background data off

- screen brightness to zero but the sensor is still working (weird), the screens still adjusts to the surrounding

This is after installing helix. Before helix, I got a max of 1 and a half days only.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darkflare:
Im finding the same issue. Im looking for the "use only 2g" as found on the g1 (my other phone) but I can find it. Some help would be excellent on locating this option!!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Komanche:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zivicic:
On my x10 Mini Pro battery dischargin every hour for 10%. If it's on IDLE or high usage still 10% evrey hour is losing! No difference regarding settings!

I shut down the wifi, 3g->2g, data, gps, the screen is at 50%. When the phone is in idle it consumes up to 60% battery, while the cell phone (if someone knows what is this?) about 30%. When the phone is using only display is consuming battery about 60%, everything else is belove 10-5%. Why on idle phone using so much battery?!?!? Is it software problem?

Also i am using ATK and auto kill switch but when display go blank.. but no help!

Phone is new and has undergone some 5 charge and discharge cycles, but all this is so far from the specifications provided by the manufacturer... Disaster!:(

screen off after 2 minutes

few phonecalls.

an hour or littlebit more music listening

an hour video watcing

and i got more than 3 days

i was on vacation.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
I get only a day even after a month of use.

using helix.

Data on about an hour and 2hrs music.

remaining time standy+vibration off..

Still about 97% in morning at 7 becomes 51% by eve at 4.

Why?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] link87:
I recommend monitoring the widgets that you have installed. Some widgets consume much battery. In one night my phone discharged from 80% to 40% in plane-mode (I allways use plane-mode when I go bed), when I uninstalled the problematic widget the battery discharged less than 1% the next night. I don't remember now the name of the widget, but it was a widget that showed you the missed calls, sms, e-mails, etc. I have read that some battery monitoring widgets consumes so much battery too.

Sorry about my bad english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darkflare:
Thanks, worked a Treat
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
Agree with the widget comment above, be careful. Music shouldn't consume much battery, as I've mentioned in page 2, I played a lot of music and my phone was still ok battery wise. Unless you are using another music player, it shouldn't affect the battery. When I checked the battery usage window, music player was not listed.

It must the data setting. Take note that when you have low signal, the phone uses more power to search and get the signal. I always use wifi when i need to be on the net.

I'm currently on my 3rd full charge.

- 1st full charge, phone lasted 1 and a half days only, without helix.

- 2nd full charge, phone laster 3 plus days, with helix

- 3rd full charge, after 2 days 5 hours, I'm still at 66%

My settings/usage is on page 2 of this thread...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
I use an almost similar setup but even less usage but still get 1 day to 1 and half days........

Do you think it is a defect in my handset?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
^^Btw i have come to know one more thing.

Mini pro has better battery than mini.....

Their batteries are different.......

Asked SE for this..

Called them..

So low battery life for mini is common.

2 days at max for me now..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] andoy:
How about the background data? Have you disabled it? This gets enabled whenever you access market. You might have forgotten to disable it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zivicic:
and I still have a bad battery ... I turned off everything that can be! When the phone has been idle for some time, I look at the consumption of batteries, and I see this:

Phone Idle - 40%

Display - 30%

Cell Standby - 30%

the rest is irrelevant!

and still the battery lasts 7-8h... not 12 days like SE says!
